Soft Powers // “Mary Never Sings Our Songs”

From Georgian duo Soft Powers we have a song quite different to the their alluringly glam and tightly wound “I Began To Cringe At Eight Ten”, which boasted bayonet guitar punches and MGMT style psychedelic falsetto. In contrast, “Mary Never Plays Our Songs” is a room-spinning ballad that gradually swells, consuming its own narrator, then unfolds wonderfully to reveal an epic prog refrain that stays with you well after the song is over. And of course there’s the, er, MGMT style psychedelic falsetto.
